Lee is a photographic journalist and her illustrated talk highlighted the plight of women living in Sierra Leone, where the female life expectancy is only 42 years. Many women die in child birth of infection and bleeding as female genital mutilation is common. Malaria is also prevalent<\/p>\n<p>Lee became involved in a photographic project where women in Hull which is twinned with\u00a0Freetown took pictures of their every day lives. A small group of women in Sierra Leone\u00a0were given digital cameras and training so that they too could record their daily lives. The project named &#8217;42&#8217; has now been active for a number of years and some of the women have been able to take photographic jobs. Lee has also raised money so that the women could visit East Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p>A vote of thanks was given by the President, Andrea Hunt and Lee was given a donation towards her work. The talk was enjoyed by all who attended.<\/p>\n<p>Members also had a social event when they\u00a0attended a coffee morning at the lovely home of Mr and Mrs D. Brumfield in Beverley. This was a most pleasurable occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimists are women who use their special life skills to advance the status of women and to try and make the world a better place.
